Introduction

We at Supersheen offer a full range of metal finishing solutions. Our highly skilled and experienced technicians are adept at providing the best possible process for our customers’ requirements, as well as offering advice on all aspects of your projects.

We offer superior quality results that suits all your metal finishing needs.

Vibro Deburring

Vibro deburring is a metal finishing process that uses the principle of vibration to quickly remove small amounts of metal. The vibro deburring process can be used on many types of metal. This includes

  • aluminium
  • magnesium alloys
  • tool steel
  • brass
  • and bronze.

vibro deburring

The vibro deburring process involves applying a hard abrasive media to your material with a power tool such as a grinder or belt sander. These abrasives offer superior cutting action because of their hardness and shape. They’re not round like sandpaper but rather flat like glass-bond diamond discs or flat bars with sharp edges called “cutters.”

The vibrations from these high-speed tools cause an excessive amount of heat in the area being worked on. Therefore, removing small amounts of metal by causing it to expand and become brittle enough for it to break off under its own weight (like when you drop an ice cube).

Vapour Degreasing

Vapour Degreasing

Vapour degreasing is a process where grease and oil are removed from the surface of a metal. This is done by using vapours, which are produced using a cleaning solution. These vapours are then forced onto the metal surface at high pressure. The use of these vapours allow for effective cleaning of greasy or oily materials without washing away any lubricants that may be present on the metal surface.

Ball Burnishing

This metal finishing service is a process of polishing the surface of the metal using a special type of metal ball. Ball burnishers are generally made of brass or bronze, and have a convex shape which allows them to be rotated around an axis fixed in place by two clamping screws. The operator applies pressure to the rotating part with his hands or with a machine that applies force evenly across its entire face area. This results in even wear on both sides, producing an excellent finish without any grinding marks or scratches.

Barrel Polishing

This is a pre-plate finishing technique as well as a bright self-colour process that can be used on an array of metals, including aluminium. This method uses a tumbling action that consists of all metal parts being pounded by tiny hammers.

Here at Supersheen, we can adhere to both small and large batches with our barrel polishing service.
The results of barrel polishing are luminous, which makes sense given that the main industry using this method is jewellery.

Derusting & Descaling

Descaling is the process of removing scale from the surface of metal. Scale is a layer of corrosion that builds up on the surface of metals, usually as a result of exposure to water or other liquids. When you get your car washed at the local car wash, they are actually blasting off this build-up with their high pressure sprayers along with dirt and grime.

This metal finishing service can be found in multiple industries such as: automotive, domestic appliance, aerospace, building, fastener, and architectural.
